I have just had a good startup meeting with the coordinators of a coming summer event. Let’s hope that we get as nice weather as we had last summer 2015. Attached you can find some highlights from the elite competition of Stockholm Triathlon 2015. I’ll be back later with pictures from the “weekend warrior competition”. 😉

Hope to see you at the start and at the finish line of Velothon Stockholm 13/9. This time I will temporarily(?) leave my bike at home and instead bring my camera. Make sure your bike is as polished as ever before and bring your best smile to the start – …and don’t forget to keep some energy to smile when you cross the finishing line – I might catch you with the camera. 🙂

A fantastic weekend in Kalmar have just come to an end. What a terrific arrangement, fantastic audience and 2700 awesome athletes!

The first part, the Swimming was quite a challenge in the tough headwind a (to be in Kalmar) large waves. It was even so tough so that a few athletes have to surrender early in the swim. See for yourself in the swimming pictures, imagine yourself to swim in this…

Once you have browsed the images below there are a few more under the “Portfolio” heading and Subtitle Kalmar Ironman 2015.

I have just received accreditation for photo access to Ironman the 15/8 in Kalmar which enables some nice shooting possibilities.

Possibility to get free profile picture(s): If you or any of your friends will participate in the competition and if you want some nice profile pictures from the Ironman environment you may ask them to contact me for a ad-hoc shoot if we find it possible.

Also, if you know of any other interest of pictures to be taken either at Ironman or any other similar event, you are of course also welcome to contact me. 🙂

The wakeup call got off at 04:05… crazy? Yes, but those ultra marathon runners – they start early! Loaded the car with cameras, fresh batteries, emptied memory cards and some sandwiches, coffee for a day beside the race track. I also took the opportunity to try out some new equipment and to prepare for next weekend in Kalmar – that was good.

Wrapping up around lunch time with a short break. Then headed south to Dalarö where I was to shoot some Kite Surfers. Unfortunately the wind wasn’t too good, “only” ~6m/s. Being a cyclist I thought that was quite more than enough. When I arrived many surfers were in the water trying to get wind into the kite. Björn at Kiteboardcenter guided me about what is was all about.

Eventually the wind came and we got at least some basic shots. I will have to come back sometime later when the wind is at least twice the speed. I am glad I was the one handling the camera and not the one standing on the surfboard. 🙂
